Is there anyone else out there whose first thought upon hearing about swine flu was, "Way to go Kagura"? Then I got to thinking that there were a few members of the juunishi that caused an epidemic or two in their day, and one thing led to another...

Also, "Yakudachi" is completely made up. I was trying to come up with a word similar to "mabudachi" (as in the Mabudachi Trio), so I took 'yaku' from 'yakubyougami,' which I'm told means plague, and 'dachi' apparently means friend. Maybe its from 'tomodachi,' but I don't know.

Since the sizing is screwy, and it would be hard to read, I broke it up into three smaller bits for you. =)
